..and that's 40GbE on a single link. We all know that a fiber bundle usually has several tens/hundreds of them.but the fiber bundle may or may not carry all of the same isp's transit traffic. the issue with having several hundred strands per bundle, is the optics, linecards, chassis, and management to be able to handle all of said terminations. at the current packet over sonet max rate -- thats still a bundle of 25 sets of strands. not saying it doesn't happen -- but thats quite a stretch to say that it *always* happens.

yes -- as of 17 june 2010. show me a manufacturer that has done more than demo their phy and show me a kit maker that has 40gbe or 100gbe running currently in a box for sale.

thats quite a bit of a stretch -- considering that if a transit backbone is using something like packet over sonet links, technology only exists for n*oc768 (~40gbps). 40gbe and 100gbe are still in the pipeline and have not been standardized yet. I meant multiple redundant backbones. Some of the larger ISP's (or backbone providers) usually have several.

ISP's do NOT pay per amount of data, they pay for the speed of data (assuming they don't have a backbone of some kind)if an isp has a backbone -- transit is free, but the peering is not. the transit path simply allows them to carry data where cheap peering is available (or to provide "in house transit" to different nap's in the country).at the end of the day -- if the destination resides out of the control of the isp's network, then traffic will have to be handed off to another carrier -- sometimes at a cost. depending on the size of the carrier, traffic agreements, load sharing, etc, the peering may be "free" since the two peers will come to an agreement that traffic will be roughly equal and differences split at the end of the quarter/half/year, etc (generally true for tier-1 access). however, if the isp is a residential access network that is not an old lec (i.e. your mso's) and they don't have a significant userbase from which to draw destination traffic from -- they will probably end up paying for throughput in one way or another (something like 95th percentile or so).

..not to mention most ISPs get a discount for getting a huge pipe.

I think you missed the point.Those hotdog sellers have to pay for inventory. To provide wifi access, all an ISP has to do is setup some APs and run an internet connection to them. After that, the service runs itself. You only need to send people out for maintenance. ISP's do NOT pay per amount of data, they pay for the speed of data (assuming they don't have a backbone of some kind). Which I'm sure when the smoke clears, they will have some sort of cap for that .99c simply because they want to continue the illusion that they pay per byte. So, some of the costs would be:+ Equipment (one time)+ Maintenance+ Cost of the speed of bandwidth/monthWhich, to an ISP the last item is pennies compared to the amount of profit they can get from this deal.]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Profit-in-the-parks-24801365Wed, 15 Sep 2010 10:09:35 EDTProfit in the parkshttp://www.dslreports.com/forum/Profit-in-the-parks-24801317
